Alright, cool. The cables are enterprise grade, gotten off work. There's no doubt they're solid. Thanks for the help so far, I'll try to look into this and see what I can do and mark solved if I reach the goal. Until then, if anyone else can pitch in with further, any help is appreciated! EDIT: Just remembered. The switch is only 1Gbit ports, so I'm thinking this is all moot and the fault is somewhere else. Or am I off?

Thanks for the input so far, very enlightening. Do you have some input as to how I can accomplish this limit? I have an Asus GT-AX11000 Router and a "dumb" switch splitting the ports. Been looking around in unRAID and my router interface with no luck. The cables are very high quality, cat8. I'll be scrapping the idea of using the USB NIC as backup, and just pass them through to the VMs

Hey there unRAIDers. I am currently working on my third unRAID server, so not completely new to the system. However this setup is a bit different as it is designed to act as my main PC, with VMs running in order to support multiple graphics cards and up to 7 monitors at a time. It is bleeding edge hardware, which seems to be causing some issues. I am hoping someone here can help me figure out the issue, or if all I can do is wait for next release with updated kernel support... The issue at hand is that the integrated MB NIC seems to randomly cut out, leaving my with no network access to the web interface, and also no network connection on my VMs. I have been trying everything I can think of, and also bought two USB NIC based on RTL8153, in order to attempt bypassing the built-in NIC. I'll get back to those. The issue seems to occur randomly, and can be after either several hours to a day or so. When it happens everything looks fine on the settings and such, except on the interface portion of the dash, where the connection speed is simply missing. My priority is trying to get the integrated NIC working, with the USBs as a secondary solution, more on that further down. This screenshot is with the integrated NIC when the issue is occuring. I have also confirmed that the NIC itself is without fault, as there is no issues when booting directly into W11, bypassing unraid. Using the USB NIC: I have installed the Realtek RTL8153 driver package, which should support the USB NICs. When booting the system I have internet very briefly, but then it cuts out again immediately with no recourse. Currently I am doing a passthrough to my main VM of the USB controller, in order to ensure a working connection on the Windows VM, as this is also my primary work PC. And I can confirm that the NIC work without a hitch on here. I am at a loss here. Attaching diagnostics file as captured moments ago, with the issue being active. And yes, I have tried replacing cables etc. Unraid version: 6.11.5 System hardware: MB: Asus X670E-E GAMING WIFI CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D RAM: 4x16GB DDR5 G.Skill RAM GPU: PNY GeForce RTX 4090 GPU2: Asus GT730 theone-diagnostics-20230313-1356.zip

I can run Predecessor, which didn't get past EAC previously. Also runs R6 with no issues, but I can't say if this was a problem before applying smbios

This was sufficient for me to bypass EAC for Predecessor. Also confirmed I can launch into R6, but I honestly do not know if that was an issue before. Honestly makes you wonder why this is even a thing, if it's that simple to bypass...
